The SAP 5 System Landscape as a Key Factor to Success

Too often, the measure of Basis administration is simply how fast necessary changes can be imported into the production systems of the enterprise-wide SAP® landscapes. This may be true from a business perspective, but who asks about the consequences that may arise from the poor quality of the individual SAP change processes?

In the face of the growing complexity of SAP environments, SAP Basis administrators today are mainly dealing with one question: How do I need to organize my SAP change management to ensure its quality and avoid system failures? One way to create a solid quality foundation for the entire SAP change management process is to implement a 5-system landscape that allows for the parallel development of ad-hoc changes and scheduled releases. This white paper provides a short guide on how companies can establish and successfully run such a landscape.
